episode 137 — dark eras

Time to hop in the ol' time machine as we open (at long last) the first Dark Eras book for the Chronicles of Darkness...! These smaller modules cover specific moments and places around the world through history, presented through the lens of one or more gamelines. The first collection, released in 2016, offers 16 of these chapter-length settings, with four containing material for Changeling: the Lost. We'll be proceeding through them in chronological order, so we start today with both of the crossover chapters: Three Kingdoms of Darkness, a Geist/Changeling romp through the war-torn horrors of 3rd-century China, and Requiem for Regina, a Vampire/Changeling presentation of London in the Elizabethan Age. Both of these are admittedly... light on the Lost-specific elements—which makes our job a bit easier this time, frankly. Nevertheless, we hope you'll find these settings engaging and the overall concept of the Dark Eras inspiring! Or else.
